[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 4th that it has released the "Smart Construction Technology Field Application Guidelines" to revitalize smart construction technologies that were difficult to use due to incompatibility with existing systems and construction standards.

Smart construction technology refers to construction methods, equipment, and systems that integrate various information and communication technologies (ICT) into the construction process to improve productivity, safety, and quality of construction projects.

Although these smart construction technologies are being used at some sites, there are no construction standards or quality inspection criteria, and increased project costs have hindered their active application in the field.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has prepared the "Smart Construction Technology Field Application Guidelines" to facilitate easier application of smart construction technologies on-site and to enhance productivity and safety in the construction industry.

The guidelines are broadly divided into information sharing, technology utilization, and technical support.

Smart construction technologies are registered in the "Smart Construction Technology Madang" to promote information dissemination, and contracting authorities can apply special exceptions to construction costs and standards for sites where smart construction technologies are applied.

Additionally, technical support will be provided to companies developing smart construction technologies in terms of compliance with construction standards, technological excellence, and cost appropriateness.

The full content of the guidelines will be available from the 5th at the National Construction Standards Center of the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology.

Park Myung-joo, Director of the Technology Innovation Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "The guidelines prepared this time will serve as a foundation for our construction industry to leap forward as a high-tech industry," adding, "We will continue to promote necessary support and improvements."
